HUNTSVILLE, TX ― A Grayson County man sentenced to die for killing his wife, her daughter and their son, gouged out his other eye in prison last month.

According to the warden at the state prison in Huntsville, death row inmate Andre Thomas gouged out his left eye in early December and then ate it.

Five days after the murders in March 2004, Thomas gouged out his right eye inside a Grayson County jail cell after reading a Bible verse.

The state's top Criminal Appeals Court upheld Thomas' conviction and death sentence back in October of 2008.

Thomas is now in a psychiatric prison facility in Richmond, Texas.

No execution date has been set.

Doesn’t seem like his eyes were the problem. Probably pure hate.

[uglybiker]

Did thine eye offend thee?

But the rest of the verse reads, 'Then cast it from thee'.

Not 'pass it from thee'!

[AndrewB]

Ok....eewww!!

[blackie]

The eyes have it or is that ayes....

[dusttoyou]

We need to send this guy a care package with a couple of RAZOR BLADES.

[Slings and Arrows]

Same eye-popper, different story.

[Lady Jag]

Not second eye? I must have read it wrong.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Not even his last meal. Maybe he can auto-cannibalize himself in an even more conventional way for that.

This devolutionary mistake should have been put down a long time ago.

Well, eye’ll be damned!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

Brings a WHOLE NEW meaning to the phrase:

** I’ll keep an eye out for ya **

:^D

[MeekOneGOP]

** I'm strong to the finish... **

[Impy]

The Pinky is actually their BROTHER! So be careful fellas.

[Impy]

They should execute to put him out of his misery.

[fieldmarshaldj]

At least before he gouges out his frank and beans.

[blackie]

Right-on!!

Now his lawyer is going to say he can’t get the death penalty because he can’t see it coming. I bet he told his lawyer “Eye’ll be damned”.
